'Viva Pi?ata' hits European retailers from 1st December. Created by Rare and Microsoft Game Studios exclusively for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system, 'Viva Pi?ata' invites game-players to escape to Pi?ata Island, where wild-roaming, living pi?ata animals are looking for a home. People of all ages will enjoy the vibrant world where they can create and customise their own environment to attract, tame and nurture more than 60 species of wild pi?ata and make their experience uniquely their own. Packed with hundreds of personalisation options, 'Viva Pi?ata' lets people name their pi?atas, choose accessories for them to wear, decide where to plant grass and flowers, and more. The colourful, fully customisable game invites people into a world with all kinds of possibilities. 'Viva Pi?ata' gameplay will be extended through the Xbox Live online entertainment network. Xbox Live subscribers will be able to connect with friends, family or other players from around the globe to trade items from their pi?ata paradise ? everything from the smallest plant to the largest pi?ata. Xbox Live will also offer accessories for download into the game to personalise pi?ata collections. The genesis of the 'Viva Pi?ata' franchise came from Rare Ltd., known for such all-age-friendly games as 'Banjo-Kazooie' and 'Grabbed by the Ghoulies'. Veteran developers of these games, as well as a new crop of talent, worked together to craft 'Viva Pi?ata' into the fun-filled game available now on store shelves. 'Viva Pi?ata' from Rare and Microsoft Game Studios is available exclusively on Xbox 360 and is rated 3+ for the standard edition and U for Universal and suitable for all (BBFC) for the limited edition. The two-disc 'Viva Pi?ata' Special Edition Xbox 360 game, available for a limited time, will include a second disc with playable demos of LucasArts' 'LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy', the arcade classic 'Frogger' as well as family favourites 'Time Pilot' and 'Marble Blast.' In addition, a full-length episode from the crazy, anything-can-happen animated TV series 'Viva Pi?ata' is also included. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Game News :: home page |
